Dave Filoni, Supervising Director for Cartoon Network’s Star Wars: The Clone Wars animated series, found out at Star Wars Celebration V that a brief clip from ARC Troopers (the second episode from Season 3, which debuted this past Friday) would be censored from the final cut. While it was very short, it was supposedly a very cool moment that they were pretty sad about, and that this was the one and only instance where Cartoon Network ever specifically censored anything for the show.

Anyhow, the clip has made its way online for your viewing pleasure. Yes, it is extremely brief, but kind of cool too. Check out “Asajj’s Deadly Kiss” after the jump!

This coming Sunday at 9PM ET/PT marks the premiere of the highly-anticipated new TV series Boardwalk Empire on HBO from Terence Winter, Emmy Award-winning writer of The Sopranos and Academy Award-winning director Martin Scorsese.

The story, set in Atlantic City at the dawn of Prohibition, focuses on the politics and illegalities of a place known back then as “The World’s Playground” – a resort with nightclubs, amusement piers and other forms of entertainment.

Today, PCM brings you the official trailer and press release, as well as some key art and couple of video clips from the first season. Read on to check it out!

Palladium Boots, well-known for producing “hard wearing” footwear – such as the famous “Pampa Boot” that the French Foreign Legion used back in the day to trek through the rugged terrain of the Atlas Mountains and the North African deserts – states on its website that it is a company dedicated to making quality boots to “help you explore your street, your city, or the world.”

As a part of its marketing campaign, the site contains a documentary section that essentially “explores” various underground movements, historical sites, DIY projects, etc., around famous cities and other sites that you won’t typically find in a normal tourist guide. They travel all over the world, and this time they’ve enlisted the help of Jackass‘s very own Johnny Knoxville to help interview the residents of Detroit, MI to find out if the public perception of the city is true and what people are doing about it in a documentary entitled Detroit Lives.

Believe me when I say that this documentary is not what you’d typically expect from Knoxville, and is actually quite inspiring to say the least – especially to people like me who live in the Detroit area and frequent the city on occasion. I am a little late to the game in posting this, but whatever. If you haven’t watched this yet, put your boots on and hit the jump to go exploring!

During my recent visit to Orlando, Florida, I went to the Universal Studios theme park as well as its sister park, Islands of Adventure – which includes The Wizarding World of Harry Potter attraction.

Word on the street is that this attraction (which is incredible, by the way) will be getting the expansion treatment by 2012 or 2013. But what does that mean for other attractions surrounding it? Hit the jump to find out.

As Back to the Future fans know, part of the second film in the trilogy takes place in the year 2015, and we all wanted the cool futuristic gizmos featured in the movie like hoverboards and flying cars.

Well, the year 2015 is not that far off, and, while we probably won’t have flying cars or hoverboards by then, Nike is currently working on a patent to develop self-lacing sneakers – very similar to what Marty McFly wore in Back to the Future II. Read on for details!

I was just surfing around Star Wars.com, looking at all their coverage of Star Wars Celebration V, and I found this great time-lapsed video of artist Eric Maruscak doing a chalk drawing of characters from season three of Cartoon Network’s Star Wars: The Clone Wars. The drawing was timed in such a way where a new character, “Savage Oppress”(Darth Maul’s brother), was not drawn until he was officially revealed by George Lucas on Saturday, August 17th. You can check out a couple of still shots below, and you can also view the video by clicking here!

A little while ago, PCM reported that the Season 6 DVD and Blu-ray sets (as well as “The Complete Collection”) for the hit TV show LOST would contain a 12-minute Epilogue of sorts which answers a few questions that were not answered in the TV series. Well, that Epilogue has leaked online! Watch it while you still can (it may be taken down by the powers that be faster than you can say “Dharma”)!
